Paul's Charge to Timothy
You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings— what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. In FACT, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

I think the persecution will never end....even if the whole world was Christian......Pauls words are Godly words....as he was possessed by Gods spook.

Actually, since xians tend to persecute each other when no infidels are around to poke a stick at, you COULD say they are "persecuted"...

Christianity is a religion

Christianity is a religion of victimology and rests on the desire to be (or at least appear to be) the victim. The meek shall inherit the world, indeed.

When dealing with persecution, you have to seperate Christians who clearly act out their faith from those who wear Christianity as sort of a cool accessory to their social life.

Hence, "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted."

I don't believe the pie chart accounts for that.

You see, I'm a Christian, and this is the first thing I saw on the website, so I gave a brief rebuttle. But now I understand that giving this view might be "moderated".

Everyone needs a cause. They provide meaning for us - - in this case, by imposing meaning on a meaningless world.

I've never understood this one thing: if everything in life is meaningless, why should my philosophy be meaningful?

Goodbye,

You see, Christianity = Ignorance

There are plenty more useful things you can live your life for than devotion to the make believe.

For instance, some people are inclined to become policemen and firefighters and doctors to help other people.
Others become scientists and develop medicines to increase life expectancy and ease suffering.
Still others become engineers and build things to make life easier for other people.

All these are excellent reasons for living, and they all focus around one central point:

Life's goal should be to make other peoples lives easier.

 

Religion is the only thing you can devote your life to that does not make other peoples lives easier. Religion creates suffering and war, promotes out-group violence and segregation, and even imposes death and "hell" onto those whos belief systems are only slightly different.

It is Christians who insist that the only thing which matters is our destination in the afterlife. Apparently, they are the ones that feel everything in this life is meaningless. It is likewise Christians, not atheists, who insist that nothing can have meaning unless that meaning is donated by an invisible sky daddy. Remove that big 'ole question-begging assumption and you are free to assign all the meaning you want to whatever you want. Including your own arguments which are not, I bet, anymore blessed by God than mine.
